Throughout the journey Sarah Li did not stop nagging Daniel. He stared intently at his face.
"how could I marry a quitter like you?? You made me worry when I saw you. No one in the world is willing to see their loved ones suffer like you did after being left behind. Fortunately, the sky is still kind to us. I'm still given a chance to live again even though I have to repeat from the beginning again, you don't see the scales on my skin that are green. I'm still fighting to be back with you. Then why are you giving up like I'm not coming back."
Sarah took a deep breath, her long scolding made her forget to take a breath when speaking to Daniel.
"you're lazy here what about your company??? my company too how is it?? You just want to rely on your parents and my family and you're doing something stupid like this. If I'm the one who's unemployed, I don't care. But if because of your laziness the company falls and employees all have to be let go what about the fate of their families?? You ever think about that.... Let alone man, the sky is so sick of seeing what you do.. How are you responsible for everything?"
"i don't know how I would marry a man like you. Fortunately, I have not given my virginity to you. What a feeling of regret....."
As soon as Sarah said a regretful word, Daniel who was looking at the window immediately turned his eyes towards Sarah Li sharply. Even with his worst performance, Daniel is still Daniel, a man who dominates everyone.
Sarah fell silent and looked at Daniel with the rest of her courage.
"can you hear my words??" sarah said, raising her head to Daniel. This little serpent seemed to be showing its strength to Daniel, it was in Daniel's lap. His eyes were staring intently and his long neck showed that he was a strong animal and not a weak animal.
Daniel from earlier held a laugh in his lips this time became upset because of Sarah's words. He could hear all of Sarah's words, and he could actually see when her ancestors came to bring Sarah down to earth. At that time, Daniel's heart was beating, he felt his blood rush to look at the two of them. What else when his great-grandfather tried to communicate with him.
Daniel looked out the window again, if he answered Sarah's words, then he would return to his place, while Daniel still missed him greatly. Missing the long rant that was done with just one breath.
Although with a different physical, Daniel still loves Sarah as she is. It's just that the great-grandfather advised Daniel not to communicate with Sarah, even though he knew what she was saying. However, he must be someone who does not seem to know that Sarah will often take her energy to be able to return to human existence.
Daniel realizes that in a few months Sarah will return to earth to meet him to get her energy. Daniel didn't mind because it didn't have much effect on him. He listened to all of Sarah's stories there and how she spent all of her time recovering her energy and taking energy from nature so that she could become a human again. The pain of every scales that date from his body is always told Sarah and Daniel just listen while closing his eyes. She was afraid that her heart would become fragile and disturb Sarah in her change of form.

It's been a long time finally Daniel's heartbeat can beat fast again, his blood rippled again not because. This was always felt when Sarah Li was around. When Sisca Li's son came back, Daniel could already feel this was the energy of Sarah Li. But unfortunately he did not find the person he really wanted to meet.
In desperation, the dark night was not just the heartbeat and bloodshed in his turbulent body. Sarah's energy was so close to her. It was with great expectation that Daniel saw a woman walking in his housing complex and that was him... She is the woman he has missed so far.
All the families greeted Sarah with warm hugs, but Daniel pegged in his place. She was afraid Sarah would leave again as before. He was also afraid that if he communicated with Sarah, Sarah would leave and would not return. All the advice from his great-grandfather was still heard clearly in his ears.
He could also still remember how Sarah was in pain during the process of transforming into a human clan. His heart ached and was very afraid of loss. He also felt that he failed to be a reliable person in the life of the woman he loved.
With lethargic steps, Daniel went into his house and pulled out his blanket. He tried to close his eyes but it was very difficult. Until the dawn almost came. Daniel who was about to fall asleep felt movement in his bed, the same body aroma as the soap he used.
Sarah went into the blanket and leaned her head against Daniel's chest, then hugged him. Daniel opened his eyes, this woman also used to do the same thing a few years ago when he was doing a ritual taking energy from his body. He could only let her and went back to sleep quietly while hugging Sarah.
The sunlight through the window of the room made Daniel wake up because today is a shadow for the ancestors. There was no Sarah beside him, Daniel's heart could already guess that everything was an event as it had been - already. Fortunately, he did not expect much from last night.
Daniel took a shower and began to feel that Sarah's energy was still in his house. He sped up the bath and immediately got dressed and dried his hair. As soon as he came out of the room, the aroma of Sarah's cooking went straight into his nose. She saw Sarah smiling at her. Daniel wanted to run towards him and open him. But he must be able to hold back before he really believes that Sarah is in perfect condition and will not be disturbed by the process of change himself.
Sarah told me a lot of things, but Daniel just fell silent and listened to all of Sarah's babbling. Sarah did not feel hopeless, she felt that if Daniel did not not want it, she might just be confused how to behave to her who had long left her.
Long enough Daniel ventured to interact with Sarah, when Sarah lay her head on Daniel's lap, he felt this was the real Sarah Li... All felt real, different as the previous physical Sarah could not be touched at all. Just like a shadow that when touched would instantly disappear from his grasp.
Daniel ventured to touch Sarah and she could touch her, and Daniel's lips lifted up perfectly. Finally, the long wait is not in vain. He promised himself that he would always protect his loved ones and build a happy family.
Married again and then had cute kids. Daniel won't wait any more for this. All his patience and fortification had collapsed.Let was only the impingement of his longing and loneliness all this time.
